The New Mexico play consists of:
Management Discussion of New Mexico Properties - Sept 2008 (PDF)
Surface Geology (PDF)
The 35 mile 2D high resolution seismic program was completed on schedule and on budget and after reviewing the seismic data, the Company was able to effectively map out a probable long term development area which would result in CO2 production from the previously identified formations. The seismic is currently being evaluated to identify possible conventional oil and gas prospects on the leased project area.
A preliminary project feasibility study was commissioned to identify capital development costs and timelines as well as projected operating costs in order to provide information to support a large scale long-term plan of development. This information will enable the definitions for pipeline access planning and negotiation, transportation agreements, sales contracts for the CO2, additional land acquisition terms and conditions, facility engineering and construction and ultimately the parameters for financing the project development
Several companies have expressed interest in participating in the New Mexico properties at several levels of involvement. Discussions are still ongoing with several firms regarding potential opportunities for the project, including integration of the CO2 production into Permian Basin enhanced oil recovery projects and the Company has also entered into farm-out negotiations with several companies interested in exploring deeper oil and natural gas prospects on the properties.
Due to lower commodity prices for Permian Basin oil (the primary market for CO2) and CO2 contract prices (deliverable into the Denver City Hub), aggressive development is not financeable at this time. Aside from ongoing maintenance of leases and wells, the Company is focusing its efforts on updating engineering models, and business opportunities so that when prices recover and investment markets improve, we will have the opportunity to move this project forward. The leases are 10 year leases and no expiries are imminent.
